reduce image load time on website

Load your images after the page has finished loading (i.e. after document ready).

Here's a plugin I made for that:
Code:
https://github.com/noc2spam/yalil
Also make sure that your images are optimised for web, and you keep the requests to bare minimum.
 
Firstly, do you have a caching plugin? If not, install W3 Total Cache.

Secondly, if you website is image intensive and contains a lot of HQ images, it's effecting your load time. Try the plugin Yahoo made. It's called Smush.it

Thirdly:
Remove plugins, widgets, etc that you do not use.
Show post excerpts rather than full posts.
Reduce the number of posts on the homepage. Somewhere between 5-8.

Stabilize your WP database. Install WP-Optimize plugin, you can also download/install a scheduler that will optimize your databases whenever you set it for. That's called WP DB Manager.

Hope this helps!

Put script references at the bottom of the header? I don't get that one.

I think he meant at the bottom of the document. If you don't do that, the document has to wait until all the scripts (that are on top of the document) are parsed by the browser, which increases the time before the user sees the web page HTML (so.. ultimately, it does not affect the total page loading time. It will remain the same no matter where you put the scripts. ). By the way, it has nothing to do with images directly, lol.

Choose the Best WordPress Hosting, Delete WordPress Plugins You Don’t Use, Reduce HTTP Requests to Your Server, Optimize Your Images, Your Ads Matter Too, Turn On Gzip Compression.

There are a few different ways to track your website :
Google Analytics dashboard > Web Master Tools > Performance Data.
Right-click > Inspect > Network tab.
Website speed test tools like Ping dom.
 
You can compress/convert your image for web in photoshop before you upload. Much smaller file size.
